I’ve just been told that the clinicians have approved my evidence of two tried treatments for depression and that my next step is the doctor’s appointment.

I highlighted in my nurses appointment that I currently self medicate and that ideally I would love to be prescribed sativa for during the day and indica to help me sleep at night. My tolerance is quite high so I would like a larger prescription.

What are your experiences of the doctor appointment- how easy is it to get what you are looking for? Is there any chance that I would not get my prescription at this point, or am I pretty much guaranteed?

Is it ok to tell the doctor exactly what I feel I need, in terms of strains/ grams, or do they not like you to appear too demanding/ know it all?

I’ve been self medicating cannabis for a while now - I prefer weaker strains like natural landrace ones (mostly thai) to treat depression. I have my first Alternaleaf appointment coming up tomorrow - I used to be on antidepressants and had therapy too but both were many years ago - roughly about 5 -8 years. Will this be enough to qualify me?

Is there anything I should say (or avoid saying) specifically to up my chances of prescription?
